Love and Lust

Chapter 7

Monday came, and I knew Wilma and Nath will ask questions again about me and Hunter.

As I walk in the classroom, Nath noticed me right away, "S!!!" she shouted. She was pointing an empty seat which I assumed they reserved for me. Wilma was already there too, grinning at me.

I smiled and sit between them. They both looked at me judgingly, so I laughed. "What?!" I asked.

"Spill." Wilma said.

"We want details!" Nath said.

I sighed. "If you're going to ask me if I already lose my virginity, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I haven't. Well, uhm, at least not yet." I said. They both rolled their eyes on me so I laughed at them.

We have no professor on our first subject so the three of us have a lot of time to talk. We arranged our chairs in circular form, facing each other.

Nath looked at me, "So... when do you plan to --uhm, you know, do it with him?" she asked.

"Uhm... soon." I said.

She seated properly and she grinned at me, "So you have really decided to do it with him?" she asked. I nodded.

"Do you love him already, S?" Wilma asked.

Her question caught me off guard. I was just thinking last night how I felt about him. I know it's more than like. I cleared my throat, "Maybe?" I answered.

Wilma frowned at me, "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked.

"Uhm, well. I'm not sure if it's already love. I definitely like him, no doubt about it but, I felt like I more than like him, you know." I said.

Nathalie gasped, "Oh my Gods!! You're already in love, S!!" she shouted.

"Shut it, Nath!" I shouted back at her. "I didn't say anything like that! Please don't make this hard for me. I'm trying to sort out my feelings for him. I need to be sure. But for now, I just like him so much." I added.

The normal day of class went on after that conversation. The whole day of class, I am having a hard time thinking about my feelings for Hunter. I didn't know if it's already love or just an infatuation.

I walked into my locker and as I opened it, there's a piece of paper fell down on the floor. I picked it up and read it. It says:

"Meet me at the football field once you got this letter."

-H

I smiled. I put the paper back in my locker and closed it.

I went to the football field and saw Hunter with some cheerios around him. I didn't know if I should go to him or whatever. But what I know is that I don't like him flirting with other girls.

Railey noticed me, "Hey, S!!" she shouted.

I looked at Railey and waved at him. Hunter finally noticed me, on hearing my name. He raised his hands to the cheerios, as if saying to wait, then he ran to where I was.

He stopped in front of me, "Hi." he said.

I crossed my arms, "You sent me a note, right? Are you going to say something? I can see that you're busy so make it fast." I said, without looking at him.

He sensed that I was pissed, so he seated beside me. "What note?" he asked.

I glared at him, "You said that I should come here!" I said.

"Woah, woah. I didn't send any note, S." he said.

I raised an eyebrow to him, "Then who..." I didn't finished. I just sighed.

He held my hand and said, "I don't know who sent that to you, S. Let me check the note, okay? And why are you in a bad mood today?" he asked.

I didn't answer his question 'cause I'm too busy glaring at those cheerios that kept glancing on us. He looked at what I was looking, then he chuckled. I turned to him and frowned.

He put his arms around me and hugged me. "I like you more than them." he whispered to my ear.

I looked at him, and pouted. He gazed into my eyes then he kissed me on the lips. Just like that, my anger was washed away by his kiss. I know I should be mad at him for flirting with those girls. But maybe he wasn't flirting with them at all, so I forced myself to smile at him. He stood up and grabbed my hands. We walked across the football field, to where the cheerios were.

Here they are, three cheerios standing in front of me, glaring at me. They make me feel uncomfortable, but good thing Hunter is holding my hand so I just moved closer to him.

Hunter cleared her throat, "Ladies, I'd like you to meet Savannah--" he said. I blushed. It was his first time to actually introduce me to someone. "--my special friend." he added. When I heard the 'special friend', I was disappointed. I thought he was going to introduce me as his girlfriend.

"Hmm, not a girlfriend?" said the girl in the middle.

Hunter looked at me, but my reactions were blank, being disappointed at him, "Well, uhm, no... you know I don't do that thing. B-but, who knows. I might wanna try." he said.

I admit that I was hurt not being introduced as his girlfriend. As of now, I'm just a special friend.

The other girl on our right laughed. "Well, that's new. So she will be your prom date then?" she asked.

Hunter put his arms around my shoulder, "Of course." he said, smiling at them.

I looked at him, "You didn't even ask me yet." I said.

The cheerios chuckled. Hunter looked at me, "I didn't need to ask you because you won't be going with anyone but me." he smirked.

I just smiled at him. I remembered our deal about prom, and it gave me chills. I am going to give myself to him and I should be ready at prom night.

We like each other a lot, but we're not yet in love. Although I have a feeling I was getting there. Almost there.
